Críticas:

As valuable as this work is for specialists, it is an even greater treasure for the faith and practice of the church. At the time when spirituality seems theologically vague and theology often seems spiritually dry, John Owen - through his remarkably insightful interpreter, Brian Kay - reminds us just how significant the doctrine of the Trinity is for our daily lives as Christians. I anticipate a wide readership for this impressive work. --Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary, California, USA

This is a thoughtful and persistent attempt to explicate the connection between confessing a trinitarian God and actually living as if it mattered. The analysis takes its clues from the great Puritan theologian John Owen, and does not skirt the difficult questions along the way. The dichotomy between belief and behaviour, so prevalent in modern religious life, is resolutely rejected by Kay. The resultant spirituality prescribed is honest, robust, orthodox and above all genuinely trinitarian. Kay has performed a great service for the church in our time. May he be widely read. --Richard Lints, Professor of Theology, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, USA

In this work, Brian Kay has opened up new possibilities in understanding John Owen for our day. By showing how Owens theology underpins and informs a developing spirituality, Kay demonstrates the need for prayer to be grounded in theology and for theology to be shaped by prayer. --Ruth Gouldbourne, Minister, Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, London, UK

Reseña del editor:

With 175 black & white illustrations, maps and sheet music, this is the first book in English to describe in detail the rich culture and traditions of the Circassians - comprising the Karbardians, Cherkess, Adigeans and Shapsugh. The diaspora of this North Caucasian people stems from their defeat in the catastrophic century-long Circassian-Russian War, which ended in 1864. As a result, Circassia's population lost their time-honoured independence and huge numbers went into exile.

Circassian Culture and Folklore provides an ethno-anthropological perspective on the ancient hospitality, cuisine and attitude to life that Circassians across the world still keep alive. A taste is also given of the many holidays and festivals celebrated across the calendar, revealing their vibrant syncretism of ancient beliefs.

Sections cover the ancient Nart epics and Circassian music and musicology, complete with traditional songs and melodies divided into genres (a CD anthology is available separately). A collection of Circassian sayings and expressions with English translations plus a comprehensive bibliography are included as appendices.
